4.0 Surface treatment of active metallic parts

Unless by special request, all active metallic parts in brass and copper have self colour surfaces.
Upon request, particularly for use in highly polluted environment conditions or in tropical climate, above parts
can be supplied with electrolytic tinplated surfaces with 6-8 micron average coating thickness.
5.0 N.B.R. gaskets
The material of our gaskets is suitable to be used in mineral oil at the max temperature of 100C (minimum
temperature -20C) for continuous service; for different limit temperatures, please contact our engineering
department.
During the impregnation of the transformer it is possible to reach the max temperature of 110C in oil and
120C in air for 24 hours, without damaging the gaskets.
Upon request available cork rubber impregnated gaskets, or in Viton, or in silicon rubber.

Outdoor transformer bushing DIN 42532 and UNEL 38159/74 rated current 630A.
Normally supplied according fig. A1 page 3.1, draw lead type, without a/horns, with brass bolt "D" tapped
M20x2,5 (Style A1) for the connection to the copper wire.
Upon request, the bushing can be supplied according to fig T1 page 3.1 with long rigid rod, and/or with arching horns (see page 3.2) with "V" bracket for bottom a/horn (UNEL execution) or without bracket (DIN style).

Bushings 10-20-30-52/1000-2000-3150.
All this range of bushings is normally supplied in accordance to the customer's own specifications, specially
for the oil side connection design; our fig. T1, B1 and A1 show the most common executions; without any
contrary specification of the customer, the bushing is supplied as fig C1 (exactly according to DIN standards).
For the air side connection, normally the bushing is fitted with flags EP/FP DIN 43675 (or UNEL 38137-67 for
the italian market or UNE 20-176-89 for the spanish market).
A/horns are supplied, only upon request, in two executions shown at page 3.7.
